Listen, some weeks, we just want all the romance, you know? I don't have much to say about this week's "theme" beyond that, so let's jump right to the fun part, shall we? First up is Faro's Daughter by Georgette Heyer! This has quickly become one of my favorite reads and the book I reach … Continue reading Reading Roundup #52: She Blinded Me With Chemistry
One of my reading goals for 2022 is actually to slow down and take my time, instead of speeding through everything, and that's reflected in today's mini-roundup. Only three books, but I enjoyed them all, savored the best, and I still had time for plenty of napping and podcast-listening (Wooden Overcoats is back, y'all!) over … Continue reading Reading Roundup #51: Rocking Empires
We've almost made it to the end of another workweek, and I am so excited for the long weekend ahead. I'm hoping it will give me the chance to rest up that I didn't really get over Christmas, so I can pull myself together for the coming weeks. If this week hasn't been particularly great, … Continue reading Reading Roundup #50: In Search of Rest
What would you do to protect the ones you love? To protect yourself? All the books in this week's Roundup seem very different on the surface, but if you look closer, they're all asking similar questions. Whether its the lost memories of a wanderer, princesses choosing between love and magic, or romantic heroes racing to … Continue reading Reading Roundup #47: Dangerous Desires
Hello, friends and neighbors! It's been fairly quiet around here — in fact, I wondered if I would have enough to talk about for a Roundup this week, but I managed to squeeze in a few goodies. During a week with ups and downs, revisiting an old favorite and crossing off two more that have … Continue reading Reading Roundup #46: Timing is Everything
I'm playing catch-up this week because the past two weeks were so Much that I had no energy for blogging. But my brain seems to be recovering, so while I have its attention, let's review! It's a bit of mixed bag this week, but all of these stories have one of my favorite things in … Continue reading Reading Roundup #45: The Art of Longing
Everyone has secrets to hide — some more devastating than others. In each of this week's books, our main characters question what to hide, who to trust, and when it is necessary to face the truth. And each of them handles it in a different way, by running, by pretending, or by marching straight ahead … Continue reading Reading Roundup #44: A Study in Secrets
When I tell you this was a great week for reading, I mean it was a great week for reading. These books are about the lengths to which we'll go to protect ourselves and those important to us – and the people who are right there with us through it all. If you're looking for … Continue reading Reading Roundup #43: Sneakin’ Around With You
If there's one thing that reliably complicates war and politics, it's love, as our leads find out this week. Maybe your new partner is the mortal enemy of your father... or maybe he's just a messianic figure, leading your people into a new age (I think that'd be complicated, right?). Or maybe she's just a … Continue reading Reading Roundup #40: Passion & Politics
I visited family this past weekend, and while I love them, they do interfere with my reading! It's rather unsettling actually. I need my alone time! 😂 But I'm safely ensconced in my own little apartment once more, and I did manage to sneak in some good books last week and in the past couple … Continue reading Reading Roundup #39: Closing Chapters
